The Wallflowers Return with Collected: 1996-2005
'Collected' Captures Hits Plus Unreleased Tracks Band Returns For Extensive US Summer Tour
Mixing introspective singer-songwriter sensibilities with a commitment to genuine roots rock, The Wallflowers have released five studio albums, sold more than eight million copies of their catalog, topped the Billboard charts, scored a multiplatinum album, several Modern Rock hits, two Grammy® awards and a legion of fans. The Wallflowers will release a 'retrospective' set entitled Collected: 1996-2005 on June 16, 2009 (Interscope/UMe). The disc brings together fourteen of the Los Angeles group's hit songs - from their 1996 breakthrough quadruple platinum album Bringing Down The Horse all the way through to their most recent full-length, 2005's critically acclaimed Rebel, Sweetheart - plus two unreleased tracks.
With leader Jakob Dylan overseeing its production and compiling the track list, the 16-selection Collected: 1996-2005 is the definitive look at a critically-acclaimed favorite of the past decade, whose tales of disillusionment and perseverance were wrapped in a sound both gritty and polished, melancholy and aggressive.
In addition to recording and touring with the Wallflowers, Dylan has also launched his solo career, releasing his debut album, Seeing Things, in June 2008.
